<p>can one cancel AP scores from last year? on collegeboard, it says ap scores can be cancelled at anytime, but if you don't want it to appear on this year's report, a notice must be sent in by june 15. can anyone explain this. and do the scores still count toward the average.</p>
<p>bumpbumpbump!!</p>
<p>come one now</p>
<p>Yeah, when you send in your AP score report, you can withhold a grade to your colleges for $10 per grade. If you didn't cancel by June 15th, the grades will still show up and count toward your average, but you can still withhold the bad grade if you want in the future. But it may look kinda fishy, especially if you've taken the test for every other AP test.</p>
<p>Not if they were self studied. I withheld 3 exams this year because I self studied them and want to take the classes in college. I only took one of the 3 classes so it doesn't look fishy. Also the people at colleges who type in your AP scores typically don't have your schedule right next to them.</p>
<p>You see, I thought people self studied just to take the test and show that score to colleges to show that yeah, they have academic curiosity and can go to great lengths by studying a subject and taking the test and getting a great score. Even if you want to take the classes in college, you don't have to withhold the score. People might take an AP class to boost their GPA and see how they might do on the test, and they might end up not doing well for various reasons..and so they want to withhold the grade. And if you got an A on that course, and withhold 1 certain AP grade, it might look fishy. Do you see what I mean? I mean, admissions officers probably aren't sitting there analyzing the application that long, but that's what some kids have told me on this site, and they told me to just show the grade because merely attempting the AP test is a good sign, and that APs are meant to HELP not hurt. And if you have all 5s and got a 2 on a test, your average would show that, even if you withheld the score, so it could look strange, cuz all they would see would be the 5s.</p>
<p>I agree with what you said, but at my college, I have to go through a bureaucratic process to deny credit for AP exams. I do not know if I passed the 3 exams that I withheld, but I would rather just withhold them rather than deal with talking to people in 8 different offices to get the stuff straight. Better safe than sorry. The people that fill out the forms giving credit to me are in the office of testing and orientation so they don't know me from Adam. I just would rather withold them and send them the other 4 exams I took this year. I did take the BC Calculus Class which is one of the exams I took but it was an independent study class embedded in the AB Class that I already took (made a 5) so I can explain why I withheld these three scores. Tell me if that seems rational/makes sense. The other two I withheld were Micro and Macroecon (self studied). Econ and Math are my majors so I want to make sure I get a firm grounding in them.</p>
<p>Yeah I see what you mean now. It's harder for you to tell the people that you want to take the class instead of letting them give you credit, and so you went ahead and withheld those specific grades because those will eventually be your major. And you did independent study for BC and you're not sure what you made, and since that will also be part of your major, you withheld that grade too. Alright, well, sounds really good. It may be too late now for you since it seems you're already going to college and stuff, but if anyone else was in the same scenario, you might want to mention you self studied the classes even if you don't show your score because it definently shows intellectual curiosity, which is what colleges want.</p>
